Um, this shouldn't be the issue here.  _SetAttributeFor() should be called
when the attribute is set; it's not transaction-driven.  Something weird is
happening with Christian's situation that I haven't investigated yet.

Actually, the status should be AddedStatus, and it should stay that way
throughout the transaction, unless the object gets deleted in the same
transaction.
